Recycling of Demolished Concrete and Masonry

It is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive for demolition contractors to dispose of building waste and demolition rubble. For environmental reasons,authorities are looking for ways of reusing these materials. The purpose of this book is to make the construction industry and public authorities aware of the technical possibilities for recycling of demolished concrete and masonry. It also shows how localized cutting and partial demolition of concrete structures can be carried out. Recycling of Demolished Concrete and Masonry consists of three state-of-the-art reports which have been prepared by members of an international RILEM Committee. The three reports review a very wide range of research and practical experience on the subjects, much of which has not been easily accessible before. They are intended for use by building industry professionals involved in design and construction at all levels. They will be of particular to demolition and recycling contractors, and to concrete technologists and ready mixed concrete producers.
